If you want a typical freshman dorm experience try to live in San Miguel. Although all the dorms are social Manzanita Village tends to be more quiet but if that’s what your looking for then go for that. I live in Santa Catalina (Francisco Torres) and it’s a commute to campus but i love it here. It’s not that bad at all. All the bad comments about it come from people who don’t live here and really don’t know how it is. We have our own pool as well as basketball and tennis courts. Most people here use a bike so you could stay in shape biking to school. If you have a car it’s VERY convenient since parking is right outside. In the summer I lived on campus in San Miguel and this school year I’m here in Santa Catalina and i loved both. I have friends who live in the other resident halls and they love it there too so don’t worry no matter where you end up your going to be fine.
